Making a dress for my daughter's cultural day in school.

Hello Guys.

I hope your weekend was amazing

I had a beautiful weekend and I hope for better next week and am staying positive towards it.

Being a woman has taught me alot of things and it has helped me alot in motherhood.

As a lady i had learned how to sew,bead,crochet, and make hair, mostly because I'm a privileged mother of three adorable girls.

Recently my Kids had a cultural day at school and they were supposed to dress with tribal attires,my kids were given different tribes ,my first daughter already had a dress befitting for her tribe so I had to quickly make a dress for my second daughter since I was informed late .

For my first daughter she used a peplum top and a skirt , popularly used by the Hausa tribe of Nigeria

and for my second daughter she used a gown with gathers at the end ,I used a traditional Igbo wrapper and incorporated my own style which was the gathers.

Materials I used were

3 yards of Ankara
1 yard of velvet
1½ yard of hardnet
1½ yard of lining
Zip
Hemming gum and
Thread.

Measurements I took for the dress was

Shoulder, bust, waistline, knee-length,knee to ground length, round sleeve and the length for the round sleeve.

I was quite careful with the velvet because it easily creases and requires extra care while cutting.

I spent about seven hours trying to make this dress being that it's my first time trying such a style

I'm so glad I could get it right.

Here's the final results after I was done and there is my daughter at the cultural day celebration.

I'm glad my kids had fun and were happy, after school I took them for a treat and some more fun .

Thank you all for visiting my post.
